WELCOME, to the very first contest of the breedable/changeable pet shop called Interpretations! Thanks to a bunch of stuff on my schedule, Interpretations has been semi dead....so I'm trying to pick up the pace a little. Therefore, this contest.

Oh, and not only is this the very first Interpretations contest, it also happens to be the a contest for the very first Interpretation, other than my own, Alida!

So, here's how this contest goes. I will show you three quotes from some of my favorite books. Then, you must take at least one quality from each quote and use those qualities to create your Interpretation. Then...you must write a story with your Interpretation as the main character! The story can be anything from he/she thinking about many things, to a wild and strange adventure he/she might have someday! Also, the quality from the quote can be anything from a personality trait represented in the quote...to...anything about the quote. If you happen to have read the book it came from, then be my guest to use that knowledge of the book to expand the quote's meaning.

There will be one winner unless something unexpected happens. This contest will end on Friday, July 22 at 10 pm PST, but I will not neccesarily choose the winner then.

Tips on making a good story =)

Whenever you can, use proper grammar and spelling.

Remember, some characters in Microsoft Word won't show up when you post it on Gaia, so it might be best to use WordPad or something like it to write out your entry.

(will add more later xP)


Rules

Only one entry per person.

If you win, you may not give the Interpretation to someone else.

PM your entry to Kiarna.

When you PM your entry, please also add a note at the bottom which explains the connection(s) between the three quotes and your character.

There is NO entry fee! This contest's main purposes are to chase away the dead-ness, and also to attract some interest. =)

Asking others who are not official judges (that means everyone except me) to look over your entry is allowed.

Please read and follow all of the rules in the main thread. And understand that Interpretations are RP mandatory!

(will probably add more later xP)

The Quotes

Quote One

A cry tore from the elf's lips as she saw her dead companions. She took a step toward them, then cursed her enemies and bounded into the forest.

-Christopher Paolini, Eragon


Quote Two

The rooster's head was hanging down, its red comb flopped over its staring eyes. Its plumage was still glossy as if all the life in it had fled there, and the long deep-green tail feathers that shimmered like silk.

-Cornelia Funke, Inkheart


Qoute Three

"And I would name you, my darling, as my inspiration. You, my sweet Princess, would be the loving soul that the Abarat would thank for your power to quell the anger in the heart of Night."

-Clive Barker, Abarat

i'm still confused. on how to make the strory. this is the part that confuses me
Quote:

It's like.....um, I'm going to take a random quote from Inkheart as an explanation....

Quote:
"Go on, admit it, the book whispers its story to you at night."


Well, if this was on of the quotes...then I could say that the Interpretation loved books. Or maybe it can make books talk. Or maybe it loves to read books at night.

Sorry, I'm not very good at explaining sweatdrop
Or, if you take the first quote form Eragon then maybe you could say that your Interpretation is an elf?
sweatdrop Um... You have your PMs disabled... nobody can get their entries in...
o.o Oops! Uh, PM them to me, Kiarna =D
for le story you can make up a name for the insperation?
Of course! ^-^

Can we incorporate the quote into the story xD
Sure biggrin
I'm not good at these things but I'll try. If I do the whole thing wrong, sorry ^^;;
Aw, don't worry. The very first contest I ever entered, I completely messed the entire thing up ^^;;
